[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BASIS is one of those schools where the right fit is critical.  One kid's joyless, rigid grind may be another kid's much needed structure.  My 8th grader with ADHD and anxiety is thriving at BASIS, because she can't handle very open ended, vague projects or assignments and instead needs very concrete assignments and clear expectations.

It seems like the [b]people who hate BASIS[/b] either were upset that it ended up being a poor fit for their child, or they're defensive that due to BASIS' reputation, people will assume that their child couldn't hack the academics.  BASIS boosters seem afraid that due to the vitriol, people will try to shut down a school that's a good fit for their kids.  [/quote]

Come on, who....hates BASIS? Who has the energy? What some parents dislike is that BASIS doubles as Ward 6's MS for UMC families.

I'm still not buying that an AP prep academy is a great fit for any student. Even students who can ace algebra in 5th or 6th grade would benefit from a well-rounded education and good facilities. BASIS DC is no better than OK.

Obviously you hate BASIS, otherwise why would you say it's just OK. Out of all the public MS in DC, it is one of the best options. It is more than OK.

And you obviously have not read what BASIS parents are saying, it is not a school for any child. It serves its purpose that parents willingly sign up for when they enroll their child.[/quote]
